obama says that iran will not get a nuclear weapon. governor romney would not declare china currency manipulator and find a way to say it was not necessarily because no american president has veered very much from the policy of engagement. >> he suggested we have not seen a debate change the direct -- trajectory of erases much as the first debate. >> i am cautious making predictions because we all thought that the divisions were reestablished. it was hard to know that people are still waiting to hear. if we saw a dramatic change in the polls, half of the way that president obama had a lackluster showing. we don't know what might happen in these 90 minutes which is why we watch, historically, the third debates have less scoring power. god you just got back from china, this race is very tight and at the moment. people watching around the world simply can't vote -- not believe that barack obama might lose. >> they don't have disputed elections there very often, but i was working in beijing during the mccain racing and people were assuming

the turnout looks good thus far for obama. there is some concern that african-american turnout will go down to 2004 levels rather than the 2008 levels. the google search data thus far says the composition of the electorate will look pretty much like the 2008 electorate, which was favorable to obama. >> and do you think both campaigns are studying google searches in the swing state markets right now, and if not, should they be? >> they definitely should be. there's a lot of information -- powerful information in this data set. they could potentially have at every town and every city in every swing state they could be mapping interest in voting -- interest in voting behavior. they could use this to allocate their voter mobilization efforts. they could see where stories are catching on and use that to maximize advertising effects. so there's definitely tons of stuff they can use this data for. >> and i'll bet they are listening to you right now. thanks very much indeed. >> thanks so much for having me, laura. >> now the u.s. pres

how important -- including michelle obama. how important are the candidates' wives at wooing the woman vote? >> off the charts. that is why michelle obama has been on every woman programming show. and mitt romney's wife is doing the same thing. many view the candidates' wives as better campaigners, better campaigners and connectors to these middle-class women down their husbands. you will see them continuing to do what they do, both to rally their respective bases, but again, to try to convince the undecided women to go with their husbands. >> kelly, thank you still to come on tonight's program, if you think u.s. policy is a slugfest, we will take you to the ukraine where an aunt -- where a fighter is now fighting for his party. an historic agreement on protecting the huge antarctic can hardly be reached in the next week. there are still differences over how to protect this unique ecosystem. >> there is nowhere else on earth like it. the antarctic, home to paint with, wales, and seals, it has been described as the most perfect

clearing up the mess for the obama campaign is far trickier. the first debate defeat for him really mattered and changed the nature of the race. they are now into the homestretch. america votes in two weeks' time. >> for more on the topics addressed in last night's debate, i spoke a brief time ago with the foreign affairs columnist for the "washington post." did you see any major differences between the candidates on foreign policy? >> there were very few. what was striking was how sharply mitt romney tacked toward the center, even compared with his foreign-policy address of two weeks ago. i thought the major point of difference was on military spending. romney made a point of saying that he would spend more, restore cuts that obama is proposing. obama was insisting that the cuts were appropriate and that there is a need to make room for new weapons systems. i thought there was a little bit of difference in the way they talked about russia. obama tried to catch mitt romney in his statement that russia is our biggest adversary. i think that mitt

obama to mr. romney and that doesn't seem to be happening right now. i think it ought to be hurting the campaign a bit. >> mark, very briefly. this is really a chance for the president to explore that illusive quality of presidential leadership in the campaign. >> this is what -- who deserves to be president. people are looking towards him, how does he lead, how does he speak for america? it's a real opportunity for him, but if he gets it wrong, that is a very big black mark just days away from the election. >> yeah, this storm, no one knows how it will play out politically. thank you both very much. you're watching "bbc world news america." still to come on tonight's program -- as china gets ready to hand over power to a new generation, the residents of one rural village talk about their expectations. >> a former bbc governor says that jimmy was kept away from children in need. jones, who was chairman of the charity, said he had suspicions about the former tv star a decade ago. his comments come on the day of whether the corporation's child protection
